Observe the following points before installation!
This installation manual is written for all installation teams authorised by Lehner-Lifttechnik.
Installation teams must have a general knowledge in
•working on electric controls.
•reading and understanding circuit diagrams and wiring schematics.
In order to save time and energy, it is wise to be properly prepared before installing the
OMEGA-platform lift. The following points will assist in completing the installation efficiently and
on schedule.
•Have a complete tool kit on hand.
•Check the packages for shipping damage and missing parts before bringing the lift to
the site.
•Open the installation package (which is in the box of the OMEGA lift). Review the
enclosed Installation notes, if supplied. In some cases, additional components must be
brought to the site.
•Contact the customer and arrange a time for installation. Ensure that the main power will
be supplied on time.
•Assemble a team of two technicians to mount the plant.
•Inform the customer once you arrive that you will be occupying the stairway, and that you
may need to rope it off.
•Read the sections for any optional equipment that is supplied with the lift before
beginning the installation.

Beginning the Installation
•There may be special installation notes enclosed with your particular lift. Read these
instructions thoroughly before proceeding.
•Refer to the tube layout drawing and familiarise yourself with the tube configuration.
•Ensure that the main power hook-up will be completed before the end of the installation.
•Bring the drive box and the rail parts to their installation location.
Caution: The large drive box is heavy; it weighs approximately 120 kg.
A dolly might be necessary.
Installing the Railway
•Note: See the following diagrams for some typical mounting arrangements. The
bows between the tubes of the railway can be mounted on pillars or on the wall.

•Wall Mounted Unit: Place the first tube section onto the wall, in reference to the
measures of the first step shown in the layout drawing. Affix the first section to the wall
provisionally and be sure the bows behind the railway are in plumb line. Take the second
tube section and connect it with the first one. Look at the plumb of the bows, at the
measures shown in the layout plan and fix the rail section provisionally. Continue in this
manner until reaching the last section. Then check the measures between the staircase
and the railway. Fix the wall mounted units with dowels, adhesive anchors, wood screws,
etc., depending on the material of the wall.
•Pillar Mounted Unit: Fix the first pillar as
shown in the layout plan on the bottom or
on the side of the stairs. It will now be
possible to place the first tube section and
secure it onto the first pillar with a screw
clamp. Adjust the rail into its right position,
then drill a thread M10 into the pillar (the
pillar requires a minimum of 4mm wall
thickness). You can go on with the next rail
section and the next pillars as described
above.
Note: The support pillars have the serial
letters stamped on the base. You can find
the corresponding serial letters in the
layout drawing.
•Depending on the order, the pillars and distances can be delivered from Lehner-
Lifttechnik or you can produce them yourself by referring to our layout drawing. If the lift is
supplied with mounting brackets, install them with the corresponding tube section.
